A Short Discussion

Can you imagine?
Gbogbo nkan lo ti won lo ja sha
Ehn, garri, rice, ewa, kilode? (O tun ti won)
Kilo fe kama je nisiyin? Ehn (egba wa o)
Gaun! Ba wo ma se se owo yen nisin? (emi le nbi ni aunty)
Rice ta nra 130 naira lo ti di nisin
Abi won fi VAT si ni?

Olorun a gba wa o
Oko de re nsin
Won san pension (won san pension ke?)
And the children have to go to school
What am I going to do for Gods sake?
Olorun a gba wa sha, (Olorun lo ma gba wa o)
Oga

A Short Discussion

Can't you see?
All the food will be gone soon
Hmm, Garri, rice, beans, what is happening? (They will also be gone)
What are you going to eat tomorrow? (Come to my aid)
Hey! What will you do with the money? (I am speaking to you Aunty)
Rice used to be 130 naira but it is now sold for 1000 naira.
Have they added VAT to it?

Oh God save us
Do you think about your future?
They pay pension (did they pay the pension?)
But school fees must be paid
What will I do for God's sake?
God will save us (God will save us)
Darling
